Rosé
YG EntertainmentBLACKPINK‘s Rosé is using her vocal talents in a brand new way. On Tuesday (Dec. 7), the K-pop star took to Instagram to announce that she has collaborated with popular mediation and sleep app Calm for her very own bedtime story titled “Grounded With Rosé,” which is available now.
“I’ve been dying to share this exciting news with you all but I finally get to tell you – I have my very own sleep story, out now on @calm!!” the singer shared. “I started using Calm almost two years ago and it’s helped me get a comfortable, good nights sleep every single time. I literally dreamed of recording my own version someday, so thank you Calm for having me join in this fun project. I certainly won’t be able to fall asleep to my own sleep story just yet (still getting used to hearing my own talking voice lol) but I cannot wait for you guys to hear it.”
Rosé added, “I hope you all enjoy it, let me know what you guys think, but most importantly: I hope it makes you all KNOCK. OUT.”
The BLACKPINK member is the latest celebrity voice to partner with Calm. In July, the app announced a partnership with Harry Styles, and have had others such as Kelly Rowland, LeBron James, Laura Dern, Lucy Liu, Matthew McConaughey and more lend their voices for story narration.
The 24-year-old most recently released her first solo EP, R — which contained singles “On the Ground” and “Gone” — via YG and Interscope in March. “On the Ground” hit the No. 1 spots on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US chart, while “Gone” reached No. 29 and No. 17 on the charts respectively.

The estate of Prince has shared a previously unheard recording of “With This Tear,” a track the late icon originally wrote before passing it on to Celine Dion in the early 1990s.
The newly revealed version, released through NPG Records and Legacy Recordings, presents Prince’s own recording of the piano driven ballad, fully written, produced and performed by him. It was initially recorded at Paisley Park in November 1991 and had stayed in the vault until now.
Dion’s interpretation of “With This Tear” was included on her 1992 self titled album, highlighting one of many moments where Prince created songs for other artists while holding back his own versions. His original recording feels more minimal, putting the focus on his vocals and piano arrangement.
The newly issued version has been given an updated mix by Grammy nominated producer Chris James, who has worked on several Prince related releases before. This drop is part of the Prince Estate’s ongoing effort to open up more of his deep archive of unreleased music.
The release arrives at a meaningful moment, just ahead of the 10th anniversary of Prince’s passing. Since 2016, a consistent flow of archival material including deluxe reissues, vault recordings and rare collaborations has kept his legacy active in today’s music landscape while offering a closer look at how much he created.
“With This Tear” also highlights Prince’s long established role as a songwriter for others. Across his career, he wrote and produced tracks for a wide range of artists, often shaping songs that evolved into entirely new identities outside his own discography.
The release comes amid growing attention around Prince’s archive in recent years. In 2024, a demo of “Baby Doll,” an unreleased collaboration between Prince and Kylie Minogue, surfaced online and showed just how much material still remains unheard.
While there has been no official confirmation of a larger vault project, reports continue to suggest that more archival releases could be on the way.
